INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY

Spinal manipulative therapy is a hands-on chiropractic technique used to improve joint mobility, reduce restriction, and support proper movement of the spine. At Slone Healthcare Clinics in Norfolk and Richmond, spinal manipulation is performed as part of a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to care. This therapy may help reduce discomfort, improve range of motion, and support the body’s natural healing process.

What Is Interferential Therapy?

Interferential Therapy, also known as interferential electrical stimulation, uses low-frequency electrical currents applied to targeted areas of the body. These currents penetrate deeper into soft tissues than traditional electrical stimulation, helping address muscle tension, sprains, inflammation, and pain without discomfort.

Most patients describe the sensation as mild and relaxing, making it well suited for individuals who prefer a gentle treatment approach.

How Interferential Therapy Supports Recovery

Interferential Therapy works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. By delivering low-frequency electrical signals to affected tissues, this therapy can:

Reduce pain by calming irritated nerves
Decrease swelling by improving circulation
Encourage the release of natural pain-relieving endorphins
Relax tight or spasming muscles
Prepare muscles and soft tissues for spinal manipulation or movement therapy

This makes interferential therapy especially effective when used alongside chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation exercises.

Comfort-Focused Treatment Experience

Interferential Therapy is designed with patient comfort in mind. The treatment is performed while you rest comfortably, and intensity levels are adjusted based on individual tolerance and clinical goals.

Because the stimulation is gentle and customizable, it is frequently used for patients recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or those who are sensitive to more aggressive therapies.

Personalized Care for Every Patient

Interferential Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. At Slone Healthcare Clinics, this therapy is incorporated into a personalized care plan based on your condition, symptoms, and recovery goals.

It may be used to support treatment for:

Muscle spasms and soft tissue injuries
Sprains and strains
Back and neck pain
Inflammation following injury or overuse
